Loft insulation for Lerwick properties
Our Highlands and Islands coverage takes in Lerwick (ZE1). Island addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Lerwick homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. In Lerwick homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lerwick, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What we check
Existing depth and condition, ventilation at the eaves, water tanks and pipes that need insulating, downlighters that need covers, and storage boarding that needs raising so insulation is not crushed.
